Assemblyman Joaquin Arambula, D-Fresno, on Thursday announced plans to introduce a bill that would instruct the California Department of Housing and Community Development to keep its 24 migrant farmworker housing complexes open year-round.
Bee reporters visited seven migrant centers and surveyed 150 farmworkers. Eighty percent of those surveyed said they would continue to live at their center if it remained open year-round. About 69% of farmworkers with children said migration negatively impacted their kids' education.
